An internship can help you gain new skills and industry knowledge, build contacts and networks.
Whether you are just starting in your career or taking the next step, here are just some of the many personal and professional benefits of completing an internship:
Undertake a 3 week full-time (or part-time equivalent hours) science-based internship, where you will put into practice the knowledge and skills developed in your course. You can source your own or you can apply for a Monash-sourced internship.
Undertake a 6 week full-time (or part-time equivalent hours) science-based internship, where you will put into practice the knowledge and skills developed in your course. You can source your own or you can apply for a Monash-sourced internship.
Complete a 3 week (or part-time equivalent hours) domestic or international science-based internship, where you will put into practice the knowledge, leadership and entrepreneurial skills developed in your course. This internship is only available to Bachelor of Science Advanced - Global Challenges (Honours) students.
This is the final in a series of Data Challenges units that draws together your mathematical, computational and applied studies. This internship is only available to Bachelor of Applied Data Science and Applied Data Science (Advanced) students.
The Monash Innovation Guarantee (MIG) takes place over 3-weeks as an intensive, in-person summer unit held in January. You'll work in a small team to deliver a purpose-driven solution to a real-world challenge set by an industry partner.
